Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Even though we gave this nursing home a terrible overall score, we awarded it a B- for our short-term care rating. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. Our nursing rating includes several components, many of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's second lowest category was long-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that area. This is a relatively poor grade. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is higher than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

The final category we assessed was inspections. This facility did not receive favorable government inspection reports in recent years. As a result, we had to give it an F here. We would advise paying special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection score. We would scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home had 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility also received 10 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
